Scholarship Information
Kyle W. Kiihnl $1000 Scholarship
The Kyle W. Kiihnl Memorial Foundation offers a $1000 college scholarship to a graduating senior with plans to attend a university or trade school.
Exceeding Expectations $2,500 Scholarship
The Houston High School Wrestling Booster Club initiated a memorial scholarship fund in Kyle’s name to be given to the wrestler at Houston High School that “exceeded expectations”. Those were the words Head Coach Walt Holmes used to describe Kyle at the wrestling banquet just one month prior to Kyle’s death.
In 2009, the Foundation continued the tradition of presenting the Kyle W. Kiihnl Exceeding Expectations Scholarship for Houston High School Wrestlers. Each recipient has exceeded expectations through his hard work, determination, commitment and focus on academics.
Since 2003, the Kyle W. Kiihnl Memorial Foundation has given more than 19 college scholarships to local high school seniors including our yearly Exceeding Expectations scholarship.

Drowsy driving, an often overlooked impairment of up to 83 million fatigued
drivers on the road daily, is becoming the newest epidemic among our younger
generations. Drowsy driving, caused typically by a lack of sleep, is often habitual and due to poor sleep habits or more serious health issues.
One of these uncontrollable issues preventing a large amount of the population from getting the sleep they deserve is the rising number of documented sleeping disorders.
